Hello Dave, I owned one of these locomotives in the early 1990's when I was doing 16mm scale. I mentioned the engine in my article when I did a item for SMT which I submitted to SMT in 1993. I have the cut out article down my shed. I will look up the article when I go down the garden next!

Hi Essel made complete loco. It runs an awful long time between charges.

That Simplex looks superb, I didnt know Essel had made a model of that.
Must say the more I see of the Essel stuff the more I want to hurry up & replace all the IP stuff I have.
